Gold Coast Suns chairman Bob East kicks a $5.3 million property goal after the auction of his palatial Queensland mansion
A spectacular mansion in Queensland owned by Gold Coast Suns chairman Bob East has gone under the hammer for a whopping $5.3 million.
Located in the prestigious suburb of Sorrento, on the Gold Coast, the expansive two-storey apartment features six bedrooms and five bathrooms.
Originally put on the market by East and his wife Susan in 2018 for $3.75 million, the pair decided to renovate after failing to find a buyer, reports The Gold Coast Bulletin.
Included in the East’s makeover were new carpets in all bedrooms, a new paint job and the introduction of a media room.
The property was purchased by a local buyer last month.

Located in the exclusive Riviera Estate, three miles from Surfers Paradise, the waterfront property features a private pontoon, tennis court and poolside BBQ area.
Other highlights on the 2,369 m² block include an entertainment room, manicured lawn and garden, and a solar-heated pool and spa.
The upstairs master bedroom has a private bathroom with a view of the water.

There is another luxurious bedroom with its own private entrance downstairs, as well as a powder room.
The house comes with its own den and ‘Hamptons style’ kitchen, including a butler’s pantry and Falcon and ILVE appliances.
Essentials include air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout.
It comes after East, a tourism industry executive, assumed the role of chairman for the embattled Gold Coast Suns in March.
The team entered the AFL in 2011, but has yet to make a strong impression in the league.
